Pleural sarcoidosis, affecting about 3% of patients, is increasingly detected with advanced imaging. Newer methods like high-resolution CT scans reveal more cases of pleural nodules and thickening.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Pleural sarcoidosis is an uncommon manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis.
  • Historically, its prevalence was estimated around 3% of all sarcoidosis cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the increasing detection of pleural sarcoidosis.
  • To discuss various pleural manifestations of sarcoidosis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of sarcoidosis cases with pleural involvement.
  • Analysis of diagnostic capabilities of high-resolution computed tomographic (HRCT) scanning.

Main Results:

  • High-resolution computed tomographic scanning improves detection of pleural nodules and thickening.
  • Other identified pleural manifestations include pneumothorax, chylothorax, and hemothorax.

Conclusions:

  • Pleural sarcoidosis is more prevalent than previously thought.
  • Advanced imaging techniques are crucial for identifying pleural involvement.
  • Further large-scale studies are necessary to establish the true prevalence.
